[Holy] Skada Heal & Absorbs

We had some Horridon 10m normal trys today, very casual guild, just joined it.

It seems that my healing/absorbs seem very high comparing to the other healers. Are they just slacking or is skada bugging?
Because Normal healing in skada doesn't show that much Illuminated Healing. Heal&Absorbs usually shows double the absorbs.
My RL said that no other healer can compare with a Holy Pally in this content and that nobody can get to him in Healmeters anyway.
Every healer did average 30k hps on Skada Healing only with me at 35k until the third gate of Horridon. Screenshots didnt save somehow and i already resetted Skada but i did like 20 million more then anybody else on Heal&Absorb.
So, Skada Heal&Absorbs bugged or whats going on there? Pretty confused right now.

Have your priest go disc and atonement heal by dpsing the boss. Atonement is great on horridon since he takes 50% increased damage after every gate. He'll take a lot of damage from your priest which transfers into healing by atonement. In other words atonement on horridon - great dps, great healing

Don't use the plugin. It is bugged. Regular skada accounts for healing and absorbs now. It's possible that your other heals suck but I doubt that is the case. Disc priests still have us beat on a majority of the encounters but we are in a good place. I would say your RL has a bit of a big ego to make such a bold claim.

That sounds incredibly low, my group's usual HPS is around the 40-50k mark with me rocking a significant chunk more (in some cases double), with it being Horridon though, maybe the group was just executing it perfectly? If you interrupt/avoid all the AoE crap and the healers have good dispells I can see it being easily done with that low healing and you absorbing everything (My group is far from 'perfect' and I'm avoiding a lot of Wednesday raids to.. 'gear up' the other healers so I'm not sure what the minimum needed HPS is )

As far as your RL's comment on Pally healers not being touchable, I think Disc Priests would disagree with you. Holy Pallies are very strong this tier, but not untouchable.

Sure, if you're bringing too many healers for an encounter so too much of the Paladin's healing is overhealing, a Disc can give him a run for his money. If that isn't the case, though, if you're being effective with your healers, Paladin HPS blows Disc and anything other than a MW Monk out of the water.

Objectively I think Paladins are great this tier just because of versatility - they can heal almost any damage profile (tank, raid, spike, consistent) very well, even if we aren't as strong at spike raid damage as disc priests, or as strong at consistent raid damage as MW monks.

No. Seriously check logs. There are fights that favor different healers. Horridon=Disc priests, Tortos=monks all the way.

Paladins are good this tier but to say they are blow every other healer out of the water on every fight is false.

Exactly, and also I think at times too many of us (myself included) get caught up in HPS. Here's the problem, we're not DPS where everything, end-all and be-all, revolves around numbers. Yes HPS is important but you can't just rank healers in a vacuum based on it.
